Why health insurance is important for women

It is imperative to understand the need for health insurance which can save women from a huge financial crisis in the time of a medical emergency. The cost of hospitalisation and speciality medical treatments are so expensive today, it is almost impossible to bear that cost by self without necessary support from insurance.
